The Revolution have added a center back on loan, the team announced Friday.
The New England Revolution have made their first transfer acquisition of the MLS offseason, picking up Guinea-Bissau defender Sambinha from Sporting Clube de Portugal on a loan deal, the team announced Friday.
The Revolution have an option to sign Sambinha at the end of the loan, which covers the entirety of the 2016 MLS season.
“Sambinha is a big, strong center back who impressed both myself and Jay (Heaps) during our recent trip to Lisbon,” Revolution general manager Michael Burns said in a statement on the Revolution’s official website.
